2023年2月14日 The high gold price in recent years has led to a resurgence in interest in small, limitedresource deposits that can be mined profitably using narrowvein 1 Introduction Longterm mine planning and production scheduling aim to define the best or optimal mine plan subject to the constraints imposed by physical and geological Practical longterm planning in narrow vein mines a case The average grade of the main commodity (Cu) is only 058% After evaluating and comparing different mining methods based on a geotechnical investigation, rock mechanics tests and rock mass classification, the Paper: Design and application of an efficient

Smaller, narrow vein specific equipment and methods allow mechanised mining to be selective and costeffective A low volume approach can significantly change project 2022年4月12日 The method works for narrow vein type ore bodies (eg, vein gold deposits and mineral sand deposits) which are large in two dimensions and narrow in the thirdImplicit modeling of narrow vein type ore bodies based on 2019年12月6日 11 Narrow Vein Mining Narrow vein deposits are defined by Stewart [] as mineralisation zones that are no more than 2 to 3m wide and with a dip of more than 50 to 55 degreesOf the narrow vein deposits across the globe, ones possessing high gold content are particularly important due to the high unit value of gold in such low volume orebodies []Thermal Fragmentation as a Possible, Viable, Alternative Mining Method
Practical longterm planning in narrow vein mines a case
The Costerfield Mine incorporating the Augusta Lodes and Cuffley Lode is an underground antimonygold mine currently producing approximately 150 ktpa of mill feed from a variety of mining methods to a depth of over 300 m below surface The main mining method in use at this mine is bottomup longholeIn general, minimum dilution is achieved using the optimal equipment and smaller ore drives for the LHOS methods, or the lowest practicable drift heights for CAF Minimum dilution for LHOS ranged from 66% (15 m stope width, 05 m vein width) to 9% For a 5 m vein width a minimum dilution of 9% is achievable in good ground with a 20 m sublevel Narrow Vein Minimum Dilution Case Study Geotechnical 2016年7月13日 Selective methods generally extract lower tonnages but allow greater selectivity between ore and waste, which minimises dilution and mining loses and ensures the maximum ore recovery Typically, selective mining used for extracting the narrow veintype reefs Bulk mining methods are fully mechanised allowing the excavation of large Mining Methods SpringerLink
Resource evaluation of narrow goldbearing veins: problems and methods
1999年1月1日 Abstract Narrow veinsdefined as having a true width of less than 3 mrepresent a significant source of gold, which is often exploited by junior or small to mediumsize companies Their inherent 2009年10月15日 The reserve therefore, is a function of the mining method For example, in a coal mine a room and pillar method is often employed, where the rooms are mined out and the pillars are left behind to support the roof The maximum extraction in room and pillar is about 70% By contrast, a longwall coal mine will remove all the coal in an area NEDERBURG MINER G S Harper CSIR Natura1 Resources Allocation of smaller equipment reduced the minimum mining width 15m The mine was replanned and scheduled, resulting in a mining inventory of 316Mt at 79g/t Au scheduled at 400,000tpa The NPV of the project increased from US$8M to US$106M and operating costs dropped from US$1215 to US$612 per ozMaptek Mining narrow vein orebodies
Narrowvein Modelling and Mineral Resource Estimation
Narrowvein Modelling and Mineral Resource Estimation Narrow veins are major sources of many commodities, including gold, silver, tin, tungsten, coal, uranium and sometimes copper, lead and zinc Mining this narrow style of mineralization can be considered as relatively high risk, not only due to the high cost of exploration and mining per 1998年9月1日 Metalliferous narrowvein deposits are generally exploited underground and represent worldwide a valuable resource of metalsin particular, gold In the United Kingdom a single gold operation Narrowvein stoping practice: a United Kingdom perspective2021年6月30日 for Structurally Controlled Vein Deposits – A Review ”, Ghana Mining Journal, Vol 21, No 1, pp 3144 Abstract Resource estimation techniques have upgraded over the past couple of years (PDF) Assessment of Ore Grade Estimation Methods for Structurally

2022年6月16日 However, the sampling and the mining methods, ie, the interactions of geologists and mining engineers, have an influence, as shown above with the example of narrow goldvein mining in Australia 1999b) Most narrow auriferous veins possess visible gold erratically disseminated within the orebody which can easily be extracted by gravity separation According to Dominy et al (1999b), faults or shear zones are known to host veins occurring in structures/fractures (either single or multiple structures)Assessment of Ore Grade Estimation Methods for The Property is a highgrade, narrow vein, alkaline hosted gold deposit located in five tenements held by Lion One Limited, a company incorporated in Fiji Lion One Limited is a 100% owned subsidiary of Lion One Metals Limited Recent studies assume a longhole stope mining method with only minor airleg stoping to be undertaken Several Major Mines Projects Tuvatu Mine
Geology and Mining: NarrowWidth (Vein) Mining and the Geologist
2021年1月1日 Abstract Mining narrow deposits presents a discrete set of additional challenges to those common to most mining Some challenges arise from the deposit’s width, its geometry—dip and planar continuity—and its interaction with the surrounding rock mass The geology of the surrounding rock mass and associated physical properties of its 2021年10月1日 In recent years, the mining industry has faced considerable challenges by the depletion of ore grades (Topp, 2008, Prior et al, 2012) Various studies worldwide show that the head grade for copper, gold, platinum and other metals will decrease further by the end of 2030 (Batterham and Elvish, 2009, Walters, 2016, Rule et al, 2015)A novel cutoff grade method for increasing the 2020年12月31日 Ownership West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd 100 % Indirect Pure Gold is the 100% owner of the Madsen Gold Project (now PureGold) in the Red Lake Mining District On June 19, 2023, West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd completed the acquisition of the Madsen Gold Project through the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Pure Gold Mining IncMajor Mines Projects PureGold (Madsen) Mine
